ABSTRACT:
An electrical tab receptacle terminal for mating with a complementary flat rectangular tab comprises a generally channel-shaped receptacle portion having a floor, two side walls upstanding from the floor, inturned flanges along the upper edges of the side walls, and an upwardly bowed deflectable tongue of generally trapezoidal shape integral with the floor at a juncture therewith which extends across the full width of the floor. The tongue has a centrally disposed detent on its upper surface and a free end offset slightly below the floor at the forward tab-entry end of the receptacle portion. Each of the inturned flanges has a downwardly embossed free end region extending through a major length thereof to form a lower narrow planar contact surface. The forward part of the receptacle portion is arranged and shaped to facilitate ready insertion of a tab between the tongue and the contact surfaces of the flanges.
